Hi,
I am having some issues with a USB-6210, when I connect it to the target PC. The following is installed:
- NI DAQmx 8.9.5
- NI MAX 4.6.0
I can run one or so tasks, before I get the following error:
ERROR -88708 occurred at DAQ Assistant
When I attempt to reset the device, I get the following error:
ERROR -50405. A pointer type parameter is invalid.
I then need to disconnect the USB plug, and reconnect to get it to work again.
I have connected the USB-6210 to my laptop (which has different software versions installed), I don't have this problem. Which makes me think that the device is ok. Are there any known bugs with these versions of software, and the USB-6210?
Cheers

Hello Chris
I suspect a bad install of DAQmx on the PC in question. There are no known issues with DAQmx 8.9.5 with the USB-6210. I recommend installing the latest version of DAQmx.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the reply. I called NI support shortly after posting yesterday, and they suggested that it could be related to noise on the USB cable or USB Hub. I tried a different USB cable (the original cable was wired near other potentially noisy equipment), and a different USB port (went for the back, rather than the front), and the problem has not reappeared since.
